The Converse Chuck Taylor is becoming the premier shoe for customization as of late. Rodrigo Galindez, however, looks to a game from the 1990s for inspiration. The amazing Gram Fandango lives on in the form of purple-colored high-top Chucks. To own a pair would be divine, but alas, they aren’t for sale. Link [via]

When you’re going 140 MPH on a motorcycle, why would you even consider cheaping out on the best safety equipment available to man? Now peep this Dragon Titanium motorcycle helmet, designed by Italian Prime. It’s lightweight, yet strong as an ox. And the design? Totally killer.

Any DIYer worthy of the title should know about Lady Ada aka Limor Fried. She’s the ultimate maker and when I ran into her last week at a Gawker party, she brought along an Arduino-based robot she was working on.

Simulate your own homemade crucifixions as you follow the days of the week. The “y” axis peg keeps track of the date, while the “x” axis pegs follow the month and day. Link [via]

Philly’s Mural Arts Program partnered up with The Design Center of Philadelphia University to transform 10 city garbage trucks into pieces of movable art. Sadly, the murals do nothing to disguise the trucks awful fucking smell. Just think about this… millions of week old cheese steaks rotting in the sun. But hey, it’s something pretty to look at as you ...

One recycling bin is hardly enough to hold the refuse of a single distinguished alcoholic. The problem is that sometimes your local recycling service limits your recyclable volume to one measly container. That leaves plenty of empty beer cans ready to be transformed. Not an alcoholic himself, Paul Villinski had to resort to picking beer cans off of the street ...

Ten years ago, this little bugger known as the 021c concept from Ford was unveiled. Universally despised, the car never made it to production due to the wild, radical design of Marc Newson, a furniture designer who had never worked on a car in his life.
